Out of curiosity, I am wondering how long people have been in an LDR, before finally being able to live with their significant other? My wife and I were painfully long...from the time we decided to go on this adventure (dating) until we were finally living together was 6 years and 3 months...March 2011-June 2017. There were a lot of flights to the Philippines in this time.
Same deal for me,
.... it took way too long,
... from the first trip to China
Aug 2009 until Oct 2015 , to her arriving in NY state.
Part of what made it complicated was that I was a foreign worker in Canada, and that Government did not want to allow my wife in. My co-workers in Toronto at the time, thought it would not be a problem. THEY WERE WRONG.
Ended up wasting a lot of time and money trying to get Canada to agree to let my wife live there. (NOPE)
Application rejected ...
Had to move back into the US to make things work. And get the spouse visa done.
